A zine crafted to evoke and celebrate the sense of wonder inspired by the beauty of nature, particularly the sensation of “photosynthesizing as a human.” Basking in sunlight, both within the pages of the zine and in reality, brings about a sense of renewal and vitality. To illustrate this, I employed a dynamic use of color, shifting as if in response to the emergence of the sun and the full embrace of the present moment. The carefully selected quote serves to underscore the significance of the sun, deepening the reader’s appreciation.
In addition to the zine “Embracing the Universal Light of Joy,” I created a captivating GIF that animates the narrative. Utilizing advanced special effects in Adobe After Effects, I meticulously craft each frame to depict a vivid portrayal of life. The animation illustrates the essence of embracing sunlight, engaging in breathwork, and witnessing the transformative effects. Specifically, the emergence of color symbolizes the symbiotic relationship between sunlight and breathwork, offering a myriad of interpretations to the viewer.
